Hey everybody. My name is Chris White, and I’m with StopSleepParalysis.org. I thought I would do this audio to kind of give the long version of what I would say to someone that wrote in to the website that was having sleep paralysis and wanted to know how to stop it. Because over the years I’ve talked to probably hundreds of people with sleep paralysis in varying degrees, some of them very severe, some of them kind of mild, and what I say to them in terms of how to stop sleep paralysis is pretty much the same. So I thought I could do an audio that was kind of geared for the person with the most severe case of sleep paralysis, and by doing so, I would essentially be helping all the kinds of people that would write in because, as I said, the answers to just about everybody  are the same.

What I would suggest if one was looking to learn a lot more about what I’m about to refer to as “doors,” that is, opening doors in your life to these demonic beings, to understand how that functions, why it is that certain occult practices and other things like that are opening doors, I would refer you to a few different places. One of them is a video called “Demystifying the Occult.” It goes through a very basic understanding of how things like occult practices open up doors to the demonic realm.

Basically, they are desiring to have more access to you, but they can’t get that access to you unless you essentially give it away to them. And so they have kind of enticed us with a lot of different methods that kind of break down the natural protection we have against them. And as we continue to do those things that break down that barrier, they continue to have more access to them, to us rather. So that’s why it tends to get more severe down the line if the person is still doing whatever it is that’s opening these doors.

So, if you’d like to learn more about how that functions, you can see that movie, Demystifying the Occult. Also on the website there is another, shorter video called How to Stop Sleep Paralysis, which is sort of the short version of what I am about to do here, which is explain exactly how to stop it and what you can do to be free from this forever.

So I would also recommend at Stop Sleep Paralysis, there’s lots of written testimonies, there’s video testimonies, and also if you are wondering what kind of things that may have been done to open up those doors in your life and you have no idea what it could be, a good place to check is another website that we run called sleepsurvey.org that’s sleepsurvey.org. You don’t necessarily have to take the survey, but you can scroll down and see the kind of boxes that are there that you can check and you can get an idea of the kinds of things that are generally associated with sleep paralysis.

So that’s all good to know exactly what it is that has happened, but a lot of times people write in and say I’ve checked all that stuff and I can’t find a single thing that would explain why this is happening. You know, they haven’t been involved in the occult, you know, their parents and grandparents weren’t involved in the occult or something like that, and they’re just stumped, you know, what could it be? And for that person, this will also work for you because what I’ve found over the years is it doesn’t really matter if we ever get to the bottom of it in a case like that because how to stop it is the same.

The only thing that I would say to somebody, it is important to know what it is that’s causing the open doors if it’s an obvious thing that you’re doing in your life, if you’re practicing some occult practice or doing some, or taking some particular drug or whatever, that you need to know what that is because you need to stop doing it as a part of this process because you don’t want to continue to open up those doors.

You can’t, as we’re going to find out, just by stopping the thing in your life, we’ll just call it what it is, this sin in your life, it’s not going to make this stop forever. The way this works is, the protection that you naturally have against these beings is kind of being chipped away. Those chips are permanent; you can’t repair it yourself. They can be repaired, I want to let you know that this protection can be prepared, excuse me, repaired, but it’s not going to be repaired just by stopping it. What you’re going to do by stopping whatever it is that’s being done is you’re going to prevent it from getting any worse. And it will get worse if you continue to do this.

In the cases of generational doorways, that is something that was opened by their parents or grandparents, usually in some kind of ritual or something, where the parent or grandparent actually knew what they were doing or not, they were giving away their ownership of the child to the dark side, if you will, to the enemy. And it’s not necessarily their fault in a lot of cases they thought they were probably doing something good or whatever, but that’s how this dark side operates. It tricks people into thinking what they’re doing is good. But nevertheless, my point is that those doors tend to be pretty much the same, they’re going to stay the same level throughout the person’s life unless the person opens up more doors as a result of that.

Usually what happens, or what happens a lot of times is that the person that has generational doors has been experiencing this since they were very young, or sometimes they’ll say as far as they can remember they’ve been having these supernatural experiences. And what they will interpret that as, and I would say they are encouraged to interpret it this way, is that it’s because they are naturally “gifted” or “psychic” or you know, whatever the person may be thinking that they are you know, any number of things that makes them special. And that’s an interesting idea, because it makes the person want to go in further. “Okay, now I’m super special, so I want to go look into this more, I want to be, use this gift that I have,” and so then they will open up the doors wider because now it’s them opening the doors. They’re trying to look into occult things and they because they think that they have a particular talent for it. So a lot of times what I’m trying to say is that the doorways are not going to get any worse unless, in a generational case, unless you begin to open them yourself through the very, the same practices that other people make them worse about.

Okay, so that was a little confusing. Okay, so let’s move on to, first of all you can stop the individual attacks even if you’re not a Christian. If I haven’t mentioned this before, the only way to stop this for good, the only hope that we have in this is the real Jesus Christ, Jesus of the Bible. He’s the only thing in the world that these beings are afraid of, and they are more than a little afraid of him. They are terrified of him. They shake, they tremble, they know that he has the authority to destroy them and that he ultimately will destroy them. They are extremely conscious of this fact.

You can see this in the Bible as well. Mark is a great book of the Bible, the first chapter talks about Jesus casting a demon out of a person that says, you know, have you come to destroy us before our appointed time? That’s what the demonic voice is saying, and later on in Mark chapter 5 we see that these beings are again terrified of him. They beg him, don’t send us to the abyss, which is an important concept that we’ll talk about later.

But my point is, is that Jesus is our only hope in this, not just to scare these beings or to make them stop what they’re doing, but also because he is the only way to essentially repair these doors. We can stop doing whatever we’re doing, but it’s not going to repair the doors, the protection barrier that we’ve destroyed or are slowly destroying, that’s not going to just get better if you leave it alone. But he has the power to also restore that, and that is through an actual, real, supernatural Christianity, and I say it that way because a lot of people think Christianity is sort of just rules that you follow, but Christianity is a supernatural thing that happens to a person that changes their heart. It’s no longer a chore to want to do good and to begin to hate evil because it says that, if any man is in Christ he is a new creature. Old things pass away, all things become new.

And that was something that happened in my life, it was something that I wasn’t expecting. I thought Christianity was a bunch of rules, but when I really decided, okay if Jesus is Lord, if he really says like in the Bible it says all power has been given to me, you know in heaven and earth, if he is really Lord then I’m going to make him number one in my life and my heart anyway. I’m going to say that he’s more important than all this other stuff. And it’s that one little idea that changes everything, the idea that you will say, okay I’m not the boss anymore, he’s the boss.

If I could just simplify what repentance is, that’s it. It’s the idea that you’re going to say, all right if he’s the boss then he’s the boss in your heart. And it’s in that moment that my life changed. I think what people call being born again, or what Jesus calls being born again in John chapter 3, that happened to me. And slowly my heart started to change and I wanted good things and all these addictions and terrible things that I was doing were slowly just falling off me. I even tried to continue to do them, but I couldn’t do them because I had a new heart, just like Ezekiel says that in the new covenant there would be a new heart for people that would no longer have a heart of stone but heart of flesh. So anyway, don’t want to preach to you, I want to try to help you here, but unfortunately, or fortunately, whatever way you look at it, the only way to really to stop this for good is through Jesus Christ.

So continuing, so the individual experiences you can, you don’t have to be a Christian to stop the individual experiences. So what I mean is though Jesus has given us authority over demonic spirits, Luke 10 is a good example of this, where he says that you know, all the spirits are subject unto you, they must do what you say in my name. So that’s for Christians; that particular thing as far as ordering them around, sending them to the abyss, those types of things, that’s, that’s only something that Christians can do, but what non-Christians can do, is they can call on Jesus for help, you know asking him, please help me in this scenario, and he will.

And especially, this is really important for those people that have been experiencing this for a long time, they’re very used to what it’s like when these beings are doing what they’re doing, especially in severe cases, perhaps if there’s anything sexual going on or whatever, somebody that has dealt with this for a long time, that person will begin to know something is different if they genuinely call in sincerity for Jesus to help them in that scenario, and he will. And it’s, it’s that person that will then see, okay that was different, you know, something different is happening; these beings that I’m so used to are now afraid of this power that’s stronger, bigger, more, obviously good than them.

So that’s an important first step, is knowing that this is true, that they really are afraid of Jesus Christ, but that won’t help you if you continue to say, okay well I’m not going to become a Christian, but I’m just going to use this for every time that they attack. And that, you know, I would encourage you to continue to do that; I’m not telling you when to become a Christian and when not to or whatever, and that’s okay to continue to do that, but know that it’s not going to, it’s not going to stop this for good. You’re going to continue to deal with this all the time. And they’re going to keep coming back and they’re going to keep getting more nasty. So that’s one thing I wanted to explain.

I kind of have explained it this way in the past; sometimes it helps to visualize this. I explain our lives and our protection against these beings, like shares in a company, like stock, like you know, people trade stocks in a company. And imagine your life is a certain number of shares. And all throughout the course of your life, you kind of get tricked into selling shares to Satan. Like, okay so he says, okay why don’t you do this Ouija board at this party, you know and he tricks you into giving, you know, maybe two, three shares to him, just a little bit of hole in your natural protection against, against him, you’ve sold him three shares. And if you do something else, you know, later on you know I did this, you know give him a few shares here and just through the course of time he eventually accumulates a good deal of right or authority in your life. He now has lots of authority in your life to do lots of different things if you do major things, if you’re a severe occult practitioner and you’re doing all kinds of stuff he has tons of authority in your life and can do with you a lot of things. That’s why sleep paralysis keeps getting worse and worse and worse as you continue to do it.

The problem is, is that you can’t ever get those shares back from him and just start over. You can’t, yourself, take the shares away from his hand and repair that protection that you naturally had. It’s done. The only thing that you can do, and I’m saying this from experience or talking to people trying to figure out what can be done, the only thing that you can do is you can actually take those shares from him and give them to Jesus, essentially saying that okay, my life, I can give you my life, I can let you be my boss and let you be my Lord. To the degree in which you say, look I know I’ve been giving my life away, getting tricked into giving authority of my life away to the wrong side, but what you can do is you can go all the way to the other direction and say, look I’ll give you my life to you, I will be your servant, I will be, you can be my boss, and in that moment you can take those shares from him and give them all to a good and loving master, a person who loves you more than anybody else could possibly love you and cares for you, knows everything about you and wants what’s best for you.

It’s just a no-brainer that—it’s kind of like, if you could imagine a really good and just king, you know somebody that was totally worthy of your obedience. Now, that doesn’t mean that okay, now we’re going to start following a bunch of rules; the good thing about him is what he says, my yolk is easy and my burden is light. Come to me all ye that are heavy laden and I will give you rest for your souls. He has, he’s rest, he’s peace, and he doesn’t, you know what he wants in terms of obedience is just that one thing, is a heart level change to say I just want, I want you, I can’t do it, I have all these problems, I have all these things that I am addicted to and so on, but he will help you with that.

And it’s not an overnight process. Sometimes it is an overnight process. There were a lot of things that, when that happened to me, were just gone like that, but there were other things that I was being worked on for a long time, still am being worked on. That’s the beauty of this thing is that it’s a lifelong process, this what theological term for it is sanctification. It’s something that God does in you. But anyway, so that’s one thing, you can stop it, the individual experiences, but to stop it for good you have to take those shares away and give them to one that is worthy of having them.

Now there’s other things like renouncing family ties and things like that. A lot of people put a lot of importance on that, and I think it’s an important thing to do, is to say, you know I don’t, in terms of generational stuff, or if it’s something that you did and you know what it was, occult stuff or whatever, especially occult stuff and things like that, you need to say look, I know I’ve opened these doors and I want to renounce all that, I don’t want anything to do with that stuff anymore if it’s something that, you know, happened in your family or whatever you can say I don’t, I don’t want any of that. Whatever they did, I don’t want a part of that. I forgive everybody involved. You know, I know that they were just deceived; I know that I was just deceived. I want to renounce it. And I think that that’s an important thing to do.

You know, a lot of this in terms of the repairing of the doors to its natural state is in that is a state of protection against these demonic beings, is in a personal conversation with Jesus Christ. It’s a really real conversation that you have continually, not just once or twice but he wants you to come to him and talk to him like he is a friend, a father, somebody that cares deeply about you and is delighted to hear from you. That’s the thing that the Bible says about God and us, that he delights like any father would if their … you know even, I don’t know if you have, you know you text your parents or something and they’re just so excited, you know, to hear from you. Well he’s like that with you too, and he wants you to be real with him as well, I mean he knows everything anyway so there’s no, there’s no sense in beating around the bush with him. It’s just, talk to him about what’s on your heart about this stuff. It’s good to go to him and ask and bring these doors and say, you know I want to solidify this protection, I want to … just, it’s a continual conversation with him about these doors being repaired, that’s a good way to look at it in terms of a continual prayer life.

We’re going to talk a little bit later about the going on the offence is an important part of this too because you can make your name renowned in hell, and you can make these demons afraid of you if now you are a part of his family, because now you are a prince to the most powerful, the king of all kings, the name above all names, they … you have some armor on now and they are really, really afraid that a person like that will ever understand the power that has been given to them. If you are a Christian and you know that you’re a Christian, it may come as a surprise to you that you have this kind of authority, and I think it shouldn’t be a surprise that this kind of thing has been intentionally kept from us in a lot of ways. It’s not really emphasized very much, but it’s clear as day from the scripture that Jesus didn’t want these things to be able to bother us. I don’t mean, that is to say that if you’re experiencing some of this it’s you know, that you, there’s something wrong with you. No, Jesus knew that it was going to happen; he knew these things would try, but that’s why he gave us the authority to send them to the abyss, to rebuke them in the name and the authority of Jesus Christ.

If you continually do that kind of stuff, for example I mentioned the abyss a few times, let me talk about that. In Mark chapter 5 they begged Jesus not to go to the abyss. In another place Jesus describes the place where they go when they leave a person as dry places. I don’t really know … I haven’t really done a study as to what that means, but I would say that the alternative for them is terrible, particularly the abyss. We know from scripture that the abyss is kind of like a prison, and so in Mark chapter 5 there they were asking not to go to this prison. We can kind of infer that it’s kind of like game over for them; it’s kind of like they’re locked there until a particular moment in the end times in Revelation, the fifth trumpet, I believe where it’s open for five months and it’s another story, but they are locked in there until then.

It’s kind of like a player leaves the field for Satan. That’s a bad deal for Satan if he’s sending people … try to think of it like a business or a military from Satan’s perspective, he sees you, he sees you have your protection is down and for all the various reasons, particularly just because he hates you, he will assign certain ones to do to do this, the sleep paralysis or whatever it is that they’re doing and if he knows that you are the type of person that is now sending whatever comes your way to the abyss, in the name of Jesus Christ I command you to go to the abyss and never return, you know, whatever, whatever it is, if you’re that kind of person and you’re just, you’re dead set on that, you are angry about this now and you’re going on the offensive, that becomes a problem for his team because he’s losing players by sending them to you because you are now being on the offensive. He will do everything he can to keep you from being that bold.

Sometimes what happens for new Christians and people just doing this for the first time is what I call trying to punk you out. They may try to, try to act like it doesn’t bother them or some kind of counter attack will happen at first. You have to consider this is Satan’s last hurrah, his last shot at getting you to crawl back in your shell with this because he know that, it’s like a hail Mary at the end of a game. It’s his last chance to try to get you to crawl back in to not use that authority because if you go on the offensive like that, if you are a Christian and you know you have authority, then he is busted; it’s over for him.

Another thing that’s important is that, in addition to going on the offensive in terms of spiritual warfare, and there’s a lot of good material on that. I can, um send you, I would be happy to send you what I’ve been calling the Christianity 101 dvds from my website, Chris White Ministries. I think I’ll try to put one on the uh sleep paralysis site here as well, where you can order one of these things. They’re about 8 GB of audio and video and just lots of things that I think are helpful. And it has some information there about this issue as well, that is spiritual warfare.

There’s another audio that’s online from one of my favorite guy’s named Russ Dizdar. He is a very good guy. He did an audio called, How to Get Yourself and Others Free from Dark Spirits, I think is the name of it, How to Get Yourself And Others Free from Dark Spirits. And he basically just prays for you to sort of explain some issues that are important for somebody that may be dealing with this, and I highly recommend that audio as well.

But what I wanted to say is that, in addition to spiritual warfare, is an attitude of prayer, especially you know at night, you know before you go to bed and you know, preemptively praying against this stuff, you know asking Jesus to help you before you, you know, if any spirits come you know, to be with you at night, and to protect you against them. And pray during the day or whatever, it’s an attitude of prayer; it’s a glorious and wonderful thing that happens.

And finally I want to mention this, there are a lot of things out there, especially people that have come from the new age or the occult like I did, I believed a lot of things, untrue things about the Bible, about Jesus as a historical person. I had all kinds of ideas that I thought proved that, you know, Jesus wasn’t real, I certainly didn’t need to follow him and the Bible wasn’t this and that. I had all kinds of ideas that I was so sure about, but the interesting thing about all those things is they kind of require you not to look into it for yourself. It requires you to simply believe it on faith. You know, you saw a movie on YouTube that said Jesus didn’t exist or whatever, and you say well I would prefer that to be true, because if that’s true then I don’t have any accountability for my actions; I can do whatever I want, I can be my own boss. And that’s attractive of an idea so it’s not something that you want to look into. But if that’s you right now, if you’re saying, well you know, I believe all this stuff I can’t possibly believe what you’re saying or believe that Jesus is, you know, worthy of my following him because I don’t believe he existed or all these other things, you need to deal with that stuff first.

And the good thing about it is that the truth is on his side. You know, he said he is the truth. And it’s true; if you really want to find what is factually true, that road will end right at Jesus Christ every time. He is the end of the road if you’re really diligent about seeking the truth. I want you to be that kind of person from now on. Now it’s important that you find the truth. If what I’m saying is true, and that these are demons and that you are in great danger and that the only way to stop this is through Jesus Christ, if that’s true, you need to know that it’s true.

So, I would encourage you, I’m going to put on to site StopSleepParalysis.org a section called apologetics, and it’s going to be a lot of different videos that answer a lot of the common questions. It’s something that I’ve been doing for a lot, long time, doing videos about these kinds of questions since I personally used to believe a lot of this stuff as well. So that’s an important aspect as well. If anybody has any questions for me, you can Email me. My Email address is Chris@ChrisWhiteMinistries.com. Okay, hope this helps. Bye bye.
